Eclipse & Hurricane HarveyDéjà vu 'Andrew'?

8-24-17, As I gather data about the potentially 'historic' HURRICANE HARVEY that is about to make landfall in Texas and Louisiana USA - I wondered if there was any correlation with the GREAT AMERICAN SOLAR ECLIPSE that occurred just 3 days ago on 8/21/17. Many wondered whether there will be an additional participants in God's 'heavenly signs' like tropical activity in the Atlantic Ocean? Looks like YES. Twenty-five years ago, in 1992, there was an eclipse and Hurricane Andrew.Using the National Hurricane Center’s HURDAT2 dataset of hurricane climatology to take a snapshot of all recorded tropical cyclone activity occurring at 2 p.m. ET on Aug. 21 for every year since 1900. If a total eclipse occurred every year at that time, in only two of the 117 theoretical eclipses would totality have intersected the center of a tropical storm or hurricane. - one was Andrew on 8/21/92. It was a beaut. -- so THIS hurricane is a few days after the eclipse - significant?

Hurricane HARVEY is expected to move from the north entrance to Padre Island National Seashore to Sargent, about 6 to 12 feet of water above ground level is expected.

If the storm hits at the time of high tide. Similarly, from Sargent to San Luis Pass, and Port Mansfield to the north entrance of Padre Island National Seashore, the storm surge is predicted to bring inundation of between 5 to 7 feet.
